Mindfulness meditation is the simple technique of allowing yourself to be in the present moment,

which means that only what you are doing right this minute in time is what

really matters.

Sometimes in meditation, your mind may wander a little bit but that's okay.

Just say hello to those thoughts and then just let them float away.

Then calmly bring your thoughts back to your breathing.

So let's begin.

Sit down somewhere comfortable, somewhere warm and quiet. Now sit with your back straight and your feet firmly on the floor and try if you can not to move, just be still.

Now begin by focusing on your breathing. Focus your mind on your chest rising and falling with each breath.

Think of nothing else, just your chest rising and falling as you breathe. You don't have to breathe

deeply, just breathe naturally and just focus on how it is happening.

Your chest just rises and falls as you breathe.

Notice how your breath flows in and then out again.

Notice how your chest gently rises and falls because your body knows how much air it needs.

So sit quietly, seeing in your mind's eye, your breath flowing gently in and out of your body again feeling your chest rising and falling and when your

attention wonders just bring your focus back to your breathing.

So when you want to think about football or going to school or playing out with your friends,

just bring your attention back to your breathing.

Feel your chest just rise and fall. That's all you have to think about.

Simply let the thoughts pass on by.

See how your breath continues to flow.

Deeply, calmly, slowly and gently.
